Fuses are there for a reason! I would be changing the headlight switch and putting the original steering wheel back on mate after checking the wiring is not burnt out!

Yeah have you also changed your steering wheel and hub mate I got the wheel and hub of I bloke who said it was on his scirocco for 5 year or so but it only has 1 red wire

Have you got a wiring diagram for the car?
Look in the Haynes manual for this.
Also make sure also that you have the proper wiring and Especially insulation on the new wheel.
Check the fuse box to see what goes where.
The fuse boxes in 'Roccos and Mk1 Golfs have (allegedly) been prone to water coming in and doing a bit of damage.
I've seen a Mk1 Golf go up in flames.
Sorry if I've scared you.

Cheers
